Stingray antenna outside Surrey Pretrial

Well this is rather amusing. Yesterday when we were at the Surrey RCMP Open House we walked past the Surrey Pretrial detention centre. I have been to that courthouse a million times and never realized Surrey Pretrial was right across from the courthouse. North Fraser Pretrial is in Port Coquitlam. Surrey Pretrial is a different facility. It's location is pretty ingenious with the ability to transfer prisoners underground from the detention centre to and from the courthouse.

So I'm standing in front of Surrey pretrial reading the sign out front. As I look up the first thing I see is a stingray antenna. Have a look for yourself. It's the same antenna they have installed outside my house. It's the same antenna they have on top of the courthouse in the DTES.



When I made the post about Stingray antennas being used in Surrey someone said it's just a Yagi antenna. Yes it is, but what the hell do you think this antenna is connected to outside the Surrey Pretrial? It's not a radio antenna. They use it for intercepting cell phone communication.

I have to admit I'm not entirely opposed to its use at Surrey pretrial. From an intelligence gathering position it's a pretty smart location. It's the ones outside my house and all over Surrey recording regular civilians wireless communication without a warrant that upsets me.

Surrey RCMP Open House

We went to the Surrey RCMP Open House today. For the most part it was a huge success. They had the bomb squad on site with their robots and gear as well as the ERT and the CFSEU. They had a police dog demonstration, lots of quads and even a helicopter take off right from the courtyard. It was all very posative.



I was somewhat disappointed to see a harm promotion booth on site. That is once again taking us in the wrong direction. The DTES is a failed model Surrey would do well to avoid like the plague.

When we walked down the hall of fame and saw the pictures of the previous and current Surrey Police Chiefs I pointed to the last three: Fraser MacRae - good, Bill Fordy - bad, Dwayne McDonald - good. We've come full circle. As I said before, Fraser MacRae was a Rock Star. Bill Fordy was a flaming idiot. Dwayne McDonald was rock solid. He was our new hope.

Dwayne McDonald is a good man who did great things in Kelowna but someone has his hands tied and is preventing him from doing anything in Surrey. After his huge success in Kelowna he was was transferred to IHIT and the Outlaw Motorcycle Gang Unit was disbanded by Christy Clark. He did such a great job the powers that be made sure he would never do that again. They dont want him interfering with the Hells Angels drug trafficking network.

All this sound and fury about the fentanyl crisis but nothing ever gets done to stop it. Instead we only bend over backwards to promote it. That is not the New York Model. Everyone knows Shakerz is still the hub for the Hells Angels drug trafficking network in Surrey. Randy and Trevor Jones were named in the US cross border drug trafficking indictment and Tbarz was named as the hub of that drug ring. It still is. The name change was just a smoke and mirror distraction to avoid having the bar seized under proceeds of crime in the US indictment.



Everyone knows Tito is a Hells Angels associate that is in charge of the drug trafficking out of Shakerz. Everyone knows they have runners that go from there to the Dell bowling alley who in turn have runners that supply the Whalley strip with drugs. Everyone knows that a Hells Angels prospect actually works at the Front Room a few days a week and that a Hells Angels associate named Wolfpack Roockie supplies the Lighthouse shelter with drugs. Everyone knows that.

I can verify that the police have known that for a year and have refused to do anything about it. So my question is why? Who has Dwayne McDonald's hands tied and is preventing him from doing his job? Once we answer that question we might actually be able to get something accomplished in Surrey. Until then, we never will.

Return to the sacred battleground of Clayoquot Sound. Take an eco tour and see the majesty of Catface mountain in the middle of the protected biosphere and stand with us once again to defend right from wrong. Let's do the timewarp again yo. Truth crushed to the earth will rise again. Word.

Kamloops turns up the heat

Kamloops the Week is reporting that Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said officers from the Uniform Gang Enforcement Team were in the Tournament Capital to help stop criminal activity and prevent organized crime groups from further establishing a presence in the community. “The joint efforts over the weekend targeted those individuals participating in illegal activities and resulted in both enforcement and disruptive measures being taken,” she said.

Let's see if they keep up the pressure on Johnny Newcome's latest chop shop in Kelowna. Although Crimestoppers' new Free Hugs poster campaign is somewhat bizarre, End Gang Life have some other thoughtful posters and videos. Proactive would be arresting the drug dealers selling drugs tainted with fentanyl. Stop the insanity: embrace the New York model.

Tristin Hopper nailed it: Harm Promotion Sucks

Tristin Hopper is an award-winning reporter working for the National desk of the National Post. He just put out a timely article claiming that Vancouver’s drug strategy has been a disaster. Be very wary of emulating it. He nailed it. The Vancouver model in the DTES has been a colossal failure. It is not a model to emulate. The Pharmaceutical Fraud continues...

6 Hells Angels arrested in Langford

Global is reporting that "Six full-patch member of the Hells Angels gang were arrested during a traffic stop on Vancouver Island. Investigators say West Shore RCMP officers stopped a limousine on Highway 1 near Leigh Road in Langford on Saturday. They say the limousine was stopped after it was seen committing a Motor Vehicle Act offence."

"During the traffic stop, police gathered evidence which led to the arrest of all occupants of the vehicle. When the vehicle was searched, police found a loaded handgun with several full magazines and various suspected drugs such as cocaine, marijuana and other suspected controlled substance in tablet forms."

It will be interesting to hear which names were involved. Langford is home to the Devils Rejects.

Korean election results are in

The Guardian is reporting that "Moon Jae-in, a left-leaning liberal who favours engagement with North Korea, has won South Korea’s presidential election, raising hopes of a potential rapprochement with Pyongyang. The former human rights lawyer won 41.4% of the vote, according to an exit poll cited by the Yonhap news agency, placing him comfortably ahead of his nearest rivals, the centrist software entrepreneur Ahn Cheol-soo and the conservative hardliner Hong Joon-pyo, both of whom have conceded defeat.

South Koreans who backed Moon, 64, will be hoping the election result will mark a clean break from the corruption scandal surrounding his disgraced predecessor Park Geun-hye. Hours before polls closed, the national election commission forecast that turnout would exceed 80% – the highest since Kim Dae-jung was elected in 1997."



So we have just witnessed a wonderful example of democracy in action within South Korea. There were massive peaceful protests in South Korea where the people demanded the president resign over corruption allegations. He resigned and they had an election to vote for a new president. That is a perfect example of democracy. In contrast, that would never have happened in North Korea or in China. In Tiananmen square when people protested for democracy the Communist government dispersed the crowd with live ammunition.

North Korea calls itself the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. That isn't even a bad joke. It is a bold faced lie North Korea is not a democracy or a free republic. It is a totalitarian dictatorship. There is no voting for leaders, there is no free speech, there is no lawful assembly. There is no civl liberty. No protection from unlawful arrest. Those rights do not exist in North Korea or Communist China. Communism is bad. History had recorded that.

North Korea says it will have dialog with U.S. under right conditions

BC Election Results

The NDP and the Green Party could form the new government. We knew it would be close but this is an interesting twist. CBC is reporting that Christy Clark and her Liberals were "elected in 43 of B.C.'s 87 ridings, compared to 41 for the NDP and three for the Green Party. It takes 44 seats to form a majority in B.C. It is B.C.'s first minority government result since 1952."

It takes 44 seats to form the government and Christy doesn't have it so either the Liberals or the NDP have to team up with the Green party to form a government. This is likely the best possible result we could have hoped for. No one has a majority government and the Green Party has the deciding vote just like Chuck Cadman did when he ran as an independent. Finally the Green party has standing and a powerful voice. This could indeed be the beginning of something new and something posative for BC.

CBC is also reporting that Jagrup Brar, Jinny Sims and Garry Begg upset Liberals in Surrey ridings. That means the slimeball Peter fassbender has fallen. Oh happy day. The first task on the agenda is to fix the BC Hydro fraud and contract in the private power brokers that sell power to the public utilities company at above market rates. That Gordon Campbell fraud has defrauded taxpayers and destroyed the budget for long enough.

Update: Everything is up in the air still because not all the votes have been counted. They still haven't counted the advanced polls and the absentee ballots. That means several seats could still swing the other way so it's not over yet. If the status quo holds, the Green Party could have a veto on the Site C Dam. SNC-Lavalin has got to go.

Election Day in BC

Today is election day in BC. Don't forget to vote.

NDP wants to scrap bridge tolls

Some NDP supporters were out with signs on 152nd street in Surrey right before the entrance to the Port Mann toll bridge today. Everyone claims the NDP will tax and spend but that is exactly what the BC Liberals are doing. The NDP want to scrap bridge tolls.



They also opposed the excessive regional gas tax. That would be a reduction in tax. Then the spin doctors change their tune and scoff how do they plan on paying for that? Wait 'till I tell ye.



The kool aid kids claim the only fair thing to do is to toll every bridge. Not. You cannot toll a bridge that has already been paid for. That is illegal. It also infringes on the mobility right in the Canadian Charter of Rights. Putting a toll back on the Lions Gate bridge after it was already tolled and paid for would be unfair. It would just be another tax grap for the Vancouver Mayors' glutton council.

The first thing they can do is contract in the collection of bridge tolls. That fact that we contract out the collection of bridge tolls to American companies is insane. The only reason a private company would agree to collecting bridge tolls is so THEY can make a profit and tax payers expense. That is why the American company that was collecting the toll on the Coquihalla kept the toll on long after it was paid off. So they could make a profit.
